Last friendly reminder

Folks, your listening assignments are due by 5pm tomorrow (jury day). Be sure you have your four hours of listening noted in your journal. You may paste YouTube links, or simply note CDs with singer, conductor, title, etc. Be sure your listening totals four hours or more, and describe what you listened to. This is not a formal essay: short notes regarding what you heard and how you learned from it is all that is expected. I hope you enjoyed this part of your semester assignment: if you didn't, let's talk. Break a leg tomorrow in juries, and know that we're looking forward to your singing.

Dear Students of Dr. Kris, Listening is foundational to becoming a better singer and musician. With all the technology the world offers you, Dr. Kris should be assigning 10 hours of listening per term. In our day we had to attend rehearsals, concerts or live at the library to listen to quality music making. Consider yourselves blessed.Happy Holiday, Lynn Makrin

About Me

My name isn't as hard as it looks! Pronounce it like this: "Hurst" (that's the easy part) "Vice-Check." My students usually call me "Dr. Kris." Before joining UAB to teach voice and head the opera program, I taught voice and voice-related courses and served as the Director of Musical Theatre at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. While completing my doctorate at the University of Colorado-Boulder, I served as adjunct professor at Regis University, the University of Wyoming-Laramie, and CU-Boulder.
